My goodness. This Kurt Adler Christmas ornament is $65! It’s designed by David Strand. And measures over 6 inches tall. But this ornament is priced like a Radko! Still it is the first snowman on a scooter I’ve run into. Except for this guy. And he’s much too big to hang on a tree.

If you have the world’s steadiest hands and a butt load of patience you could be the proud owner of your own very crafted from a kit set of Vespa Primavera SMALL FRAMES. The kit is Japanese and so hard to find outside of Asia but it can be had on Amazon for just over $40:

The oversized sweater ($54.99) is a new edition to ModCloth’s arsenal of scooter goodness. The skirt ($64.99) we’ve covered but it seems to be back on ModCloth . . . for now. They don’t carry tons of stock so don’t dilly dally.
